Chapter 199: Xuzhou Raiders

Chen Lang thought of Huang Zu. In his impression, Huang Zu was indeed useless, but he killed Sun Jian by mistake. Chen Lang smiled, and said: "If a waste like Huang Zu is attacked suddenly, I am afraid that it will be very unexpected and cause shocking results!" Chen Gong thought for a while, smiled and nodded, "The Lord's Office The words are extremely true!"

A fang led a messenger in the dust and rushed in, clasped his fist and said, "Master, there is news from Xuzhou."

The messenger immediately stepped forward and submitted a letter, saying; "The villain is ordered by the general to send the letter to the lord!"

Fang took the note from him and forwarded it to Chen Lang. Chen Lang took the note and opened it to read it. Putting down the notes, said to the messenger: "You go down and rest." The messenger promised and stepped back.

Chen Lang handed the note to Chen Gong and said with a smile: "It is the note sent by Xu Huang from Baoshuiguan." Chen Gong uttered, and took the note with both hands, read it again, and said with a smile: "Interesting! Tao Qian Actually refused Yuan Shu's persuasion to surrender!" Chen Lang smiled and said, "Faced with Yuan Shu's army pressure, Tao Qian certainly did not have the courage. It should be the result of Liu Bei's embarrassment." Chen Gong put back the book, clasped his fist and said, "The Lord is wise!" The analysis said: "Then Liu Bei has always regarded himself as a royal descent, and Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, so Liu Bei would naturally not sit back and watch!"

Chen Lang touched his chin and thought: "Yuan Shu has raised 400,000 troops this time, and his army is impressive! But Tao Qian's Xuzhou Army also has 150,000 horses, and although Tao Qian is pedantic, he is really good to the people. It is inevitable to face Yuan Shu's crimes. The same hatred of the enemy, coupled with the basis of the mountains, rivers and cities, ha ha, this battle is worth fighting!"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "The lord is absolutely true! No one can easily win this battle!" Then he thought: "The one who is worrying is Cao Cao. This guy is very cunning. It is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch Yuan Shu and Tao Qian fight each other. Inaction!" Chen Lang nodded, "However, Cao Cao scruples us and Yuan Shao. It is impossible to get a large army! See if there is an opportunity for Cao Cao to send troops!"

It is said that when Yuan Shu mobilized the army, he also sent Li Feng as an envoy to Xuzhou. Yuan Shu's intention was that under the pressure of his own army, the cowardly Tao Qian would surrender in fear!

Soon after, Li Feng returned from Xuzhou and met Yuan Shu, who was leading the main force northward. Yuan Shu saw a white bandage wrapped around Li Feng's head and blood stains on the bandage. He looked embarrassed and indignant. He couldn't help but ask in shock: "How did you make this look?"

Li Feng knelt down in front of Yuan Shu and said angrily: "Then Tao Qian refused to surrender and clamored to kill the lord's rebellion. Then Liu Bei also cut off his subordinates' ears!!"

Yuan Shu was furious, and shouted, "What a Tao Qian, he dared to do the right thing with me. I swear to smash you into pieces!!" Then the troops accelerated their march.

The one hundred thousand elites led by forward Ji Ling first fought against the fifty thousand Xuzhou Army led by Liu Bei. The two sides fought in Xia Cai for three days and three nights. In the end, the Xuzhou Army led by Liu Bei lost to Ji Ling’s Huainan Army and had to give up Xia Cai and retreat. Lingbi between Xiacai and Xuzhou.

As the battle spread to Xuzhou, the whole city shook. In fear, Tao Qian hurriedly convened a group of civil and military personnel in Xuzhou to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, Tao Qian said: "Yuan Shu's army was overwhelmed, and Liu Xuande unexpectedly failed to retreat to Lingbi! It seems that Yuan Shu's army is invincible. I intend to approve Yuan Shu's army as a minister in order to protect the lives of the people of Xuzhou!"

Mi Zhu immediately jumped out to oppose: "No! Yuan Shu openly proclaimed emperor, it was the rebellion of the great man, and the anger of man and god, the whole world would not want to eat his flesh and hide his skin! As a courtier of a great man, wouldn't he abandon the bright and cast the dark and extinct himself? In the world! This kind of rebellious heaven will kill people if they don’t kill them. Although the momentum is strong now, this is a flash in the pan and it will never last long. When the rebellious soldiers are defeated and given the leader, how will the lord deal with it?"

Tao Qian felt overwhelmed, and asked, "But if you don't surrender, wouldn't the entire territory of Xuzhou become a fan? The people are dying because of me, how can I bear it?"

Chen Deng stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Master, it's actually not difficult to break Yuan Shu!"

When Tao Qian heard this, he quickly asked, "What are Yuanlong's tricks?"

Chen Deng twisted his beard and smiled and said, "Did the lord forget Lu Bu? There is a red rabbit in the middle of Lu Bu and horses. Lu Bu has a halberd in the sky. No one in the world can beat him! The lord can send him to lead the army to fight. , Will break Ji Ling!" Tao Qian was overjoyed and said: "I even forgot Lu Feng first!" Then he preached: "Call Lu Bu quickly!"

When Lu Bu received the call, he was very upset and said to his wife Yan: "I think I, Lu Bu, can cross the world. Among the princes, except Chen Lang, who can resist! Now that the tiger falls in Pingyang, he has to obey the order of Tao Qian, a pedantic literati. I really want to kill him!" Yan Shi hurriedly persuaded: "Husband must not be reckless! Now we have lost the protection of Tao envoy, and the husband's service for him can be regarded as repaying him!" Lu Bu said angrily: "It's really a woman. See you!" Yu Luo stepped on the red rabbit and went to Tao Qian's shogunate. When he saw Tao Qian, Lu Bu just arched his hands, with an arrogant attitude.

Tao Qian didn't hesitate when he saw it, but when he thought of relying on him to deal with Yuan Shu, he had to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and said with a pleasant face: "Now Yuan Shu presumptuously claims to be the emperor, and the army is openly invading my border! Liu Bei was at a disadvantage before, I think. Please lead your army to assist Liu Bei to repel Yuan Shu!"

Lu Bu smiled proudly and said, "Yuan Shu is nothing but a trash fish in my eyes! Liu Bei can't even match him, it's really useless!"

Everyone couldn't help being silent, and they were very disgusted with Lu Bu in their hearts.

Mi Zhu stood up and bowed to Lu Bu, with a smile on his face; "Wen Hou Wu is brave in the world, there is a way to be a red rabbit in the world, Lu Bu and Ma in the red rabbit! Liu Bei and Wen Hou are naturally incomparable!" Lü Buhaha Laughing, joyfully said: "You scribes are more knowledgeable than others!"

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Using Wen Hou's martial courage to deal with Ji Ling is like shining a blazing sun on ice and snow, and I believe it will disintegrate in an instant!" Lu Bu smiled proudly, "Of course!"

Mi Zhu said: "I will not be relieved from this catastrophe, so please ask Wen Hou to help me wipe out the evil atmosphere! If Wen Hou can help us through this catastrophe, my Patriarch is willing to give Xuzhou half of Xuzhou to Wen Hou as a thank you. ceremony!"

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes widened, he looked at Tao Qian and asked, "Is this true?"

Tao Qian took out a piece of paper prepared in advance, and said, "Wen Hou, please take a look! To show my sincerity, I have set up a written statement!"

Lu Bu stepped forward and stood in front of Tao Qian. Lü Bu took the document and read it once, and saw that it was exactly as Mi Zhu said. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He smiled and said, "I will keep this document, and I will come to Master Cishi when the matter is over!" Tao Qian wiped it away. The sweat on his forehead smiled forcefully: "As it is! As it is!" Lu Bu haha ​​laughed and turned away.

Chen Deng couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "This three-surname domestic slave is really hateful!"

As soon as Lu Bu returned to his residence, he happily told Yan that Tao Qian had promised to divide Xuzhou in half. Yan Shi couldn't help being happy for Lu Bu. Lu Bu hurriedly summoned Zang Ba and other generals, with his tens of thousands of cavalry, immediately went south, ready to face Ji Ling!

Compared to the hustle and bustle of Xuzhou, Luoyang is a quiet, peaceful, prosperous and lively scene. Although it is already late, the bustle of Luoyang is not as good as the daytime.

"Lord, the news just came that Liu Bei was defeated in Xia Cai, Tao Qian sent Lv Bu to lead his troops to fight against Ji Ling. The war should have begun now." Chen Gong said.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Tao Qian finally released this tiger!"

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Yuan Shu's army is crushing the territory, and Liu Bei is defeated again. Tao Qian must have become a frightened bird who can't care about that much!" Then he thought: "But his subordinates thought that Tao Qian might not have any good intentions in releasing Lu Bu. Perhaps it was Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and others' tactics to drive away tigers and devour wolves! It stands to reason that Tao Qian should send a part of the army to Lu Bu before he can deal with Ji Ling and Yuan Shu, but Tao Qian only used a paper to lure him and let Lu Bu lead the headquarters. Soldiers and horses go south to fight!" Chen Lang's heart moved, "Oh?"

Chen Gongdao: "Although Lv Bu is brave and his subordinates are fine, but with Liu Bei's cooperation, he may be able to defeat Ji Ling, but he may be powerless against the 300,000 army led by Yuan Shu!"

Chen Lang said: "In this way, Mi Zhu and Chen Deng played an idea that caused Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to consume each other."

Chen Gong nodded, "Exactly!" Then he sneered, "Mi Zhu and Chen Dengzhi, although they are a little clever, but they have no big strategy at all! If you do this, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating in the end!" Chen Lang smiled.

It is said that Lu Bu led an army under his command hurriedly southward, and soon arrived at Lingbi, just as he led an army to besiege Lingbi Liu Bei. Leaving aside Lu Bu, he led his arrogant soldiers and heroes to sweep away like a violent wind, and thousands of fine riders rushed into Ji Ling's army and marched forward courageously as if the violent wind swept the fallen leaves! In shock, Ji Ling hurriedly stopped the offensive and shrank his troops to resist Lu Bu! However, at this time the military spirit of Ji Ling's army has been shaken! Lv Bu rode a red rabbit horse and wielded Fang Tian's painted halberd to take the lead. In the face of invincibility, Lu Bu's army killed Ji Ling's corpses everywhere! At the same time, Liu Bei led the defenders into battle and stormed Ji Lingjun! Ji Lingjun had been killed by Lu Bujun and the army was in a state of turmoil. How could he withstand such an attack from inside and outside, and finally the army was defeated like a mountain, and the army went straight to the south and retreated!

The two armies chased them for a while, killing tens of thousands of captives and seizing countless grains, grass, grains, and heavy weapons and armour rods. They won a great victory.

Liu Bei saw Lu Bu and bowed gratefully: "Thank you Wenhou for helping me in time!" Lu Bu laughed loudly, patted Liu Bei on the shoulder like an elder, and said with a smile: "Xuande, don't forget the great kindness this time. !" Liu Bei smiled and said, "Don't dare to forget it!" Zhang Fei on the side was displeased and stared at Lu Bu angrily.
